I just signed up and I've got my mug up in this piece already. So where's yours, hmmmm?
Sooo, I have to admit, I'm technically in Palms, but I'm hoping I will be embraced by the RP faithful. I can be your spy in the south and let you know of happenings down here.

They don't seem to have an e-mail contact on…

My Rancho Park hyperlocal year continues with my first-ever visit to Matteo's Hoboken on Westwood. We went on a cold February evening and the hearty Italian (East-Coast Italian) fare hit the spot. On a warmer evening, we would have opted for one of the sidewalk tables. Nice touch - and not something we have enough of here on the Westside.

Does anyone know what has become of the Rancho Park neighborhood signs that I could swear used to be posted. The only one I can find these days is this in-need of-attention sign located on Overland Ave. just south of Olympic Blvd. Are there more around and where are they?
